Of all the ebook textbooks I have, none have ever come with hyperlinked TOCs, and searching for strings is a nightmare, its just as hard to find stuff in them as a hardbound book.
Cost of ebook textbooks isn't really a money saver either, they charge you almost the same amount, unless you chose to purchase by chapter (which RARELY is an option, as most courses cover entire books).
I have probably 40 textbooks from getting my degrees, and I only still use about 6 or so, and they are all 20-30$ reference books. The 120$ hard bounds just rot on the shelf, their esoteric contents probably undeserving of TOCs anyways.
It isn't terribly hard to edit in TOCs yourself, I've done it before in acrobat (as they are always always always released exclusively in PDF for some reason), it just takes a really long time, and you may need to fiddle with the DRM in some cases. But I paid for the book, so I figure I have the right to do whatever the hell I want with it, including deleting pages I don't want to see.
